3. General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Notice on the Responsible Party

The party responsible for data processing on this website is:

Dr. Manuela Kummeter

Abendröte 52

68305 Mannheim

Germany

Email: info@machenistmindfulness.de

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing ceases to apply. If you submit a justified request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis of Data Processing on this Website

If you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, where special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies located in the USA or in other non-secure third countries from a data protection perspective. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in such countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out if it is technically feasible.

Right of Access, Erasure and Rectification

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your rights and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on this Website

If, after the conclusion of a contract involving payment, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment details (e.g. account number in the case of direct debit authorisation), these data are required for payment processing.

Payment transactions using common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. An encrypted connection can be recognised by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

With encrypted communication, your payment details that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping cart function), or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Where cookies are set by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

The data processing is technically provided by Wix.com Ltd. Reference is therefore made to the privacy policy and the information page on the use of cookies by Wix.com: https://www.wix.com/about/privacy, https://support.wix.com/en/article/cookies-and-your-wix-site

Wix describes data protection practices concerning how Wix.com Ltd. and its affiliates worldwide, including Deviant Art, Inc., collect and use data in connection with unregistered visitors and registered users, including premium users (“visitors” or “users”), in connection with their access to and use of Wix websites (including www.wix.com and its subdomains), web applications (“Wix Apps”), mobile applications (“Mobile Apps”) and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

Some cookies are “session cookies.” Such cookies are automatically deleted after your browser session ends. Others remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies help us recognise you when you return to our website.

Cookies can be classified according to type, duration and category:

Session cookies (temporary): These cookies are deleted when you close your browser and do not collect information from your computer. They usually store information in the form of a session ID that does not personally identify the user.
Persistent cookies (permanent/stored): These cookies remain on your hard drive until they expire (i.e. based on their expiry date) or until you delete them. These cookies are used to collect identifying information about the user, such as web surfing behaviour or preferences for a specific site.

Wix.com uses the following cookies:

Session cookies: ForceFlashSite, hs, XSRF-TOKEN, SSR-caching, TS*, TS01*******, TSxxxxxxxx (x replaced by numbers/letters), TSxxxxxxxx_d (x replaced by numbers/letters).

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website. For this purpose, server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiries by Email, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data provided therein (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
